About the tides at Big Pine Key, northeast shore

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 0.9 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.2 ft, on October 8.

Big Pine Key, northeast shore is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Big Pine Key, north end, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 5 m later. For tidal currents, see No Name Key, northeast of.

Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
